I need to get back in the loop

Hiya!

First I figured I'd delete this blog and start blank. A clean slate so to say. Then I told myself not to. Why not I might ask myself? Well I do have some old pictures in here and they are quite nice to look back at! So instead of deleting I will update ♥

What have I been up to lately? I started to study to be a nurse, I got myself moving to a new apartment, I bleached my hair to a lighter shade and I shed some pounds. Isn't that exciting?

How are you all?!

This is a newer picture of me ♥

Crappy quality but what the heck ♥

Also I'd like to inform you all that I am going to Japan on the 16th together with my best friend Beah ♥ I have been looking forward to this for a while and will update from there ♥♥♥

I'm off to reply to some comments I missed out!

My apartment

Hello ♥
Maybe I should start update this again!
I felt rather down and stressed about the blog.
What to write and what to say?
I figured I don't write to please or to be popular so let's start again ♥

I moved into a new apartment and it's rather nice to say.
Here is a small video for you all to watch ----> here




Also I took some photos the other day about my current look and decided to post it all.
It's a shame I never took a close up on my Make-up.
Need to learn to do that more often.

Anything else? I took some pictures I could put up later, been to some parties and a gal meet too! There is one soon with Lovelipop I was thinking about to attend ♥

JAPAN ♥

I should have made this JAPAN ♥ post long ago but things been a little up and down but finally I got it all pulled together!

No flashy post but here, finally, the video from Japan of the apartment I lived in. I want to go back there so badly! I miss Tachikawa and Tokyo! Where is your favorite place on earth?

and here! A quick snap of my current nails and my look (in the schools mirror ♥ )

Knitted hat: H&M
Top: VILA
Tights: Vero Moda

Too bad the iPhone makes my eyemake up look like Panda rings. I finally mastered down fake lashes ♥ A real nightmare but I finally managed!

Cute simple design! White flowers and some stones ♥

OH ALSO! I am going to the Netherlands for Xmas and New years ♥ AWESOME MUCH?

Time of change ♥

I need to stop being such a lazy person each time I get 'girls week'

But hey here I am ♥

I spoke to Sara Mari for a while yesterday and while speaking I got inspiration to a lot of posts. Sorry hun if I ended up talking a lot about myself but it happens?

This post is going to be about change.
Yes I love these post myself so I guess it's time I make one myself!
What have you all looked like over the time?

Bread and shoes, all a girl need ♥

Some days ago my grandfather died and my whole family been in chock.
Instead of spending time in my apartment I spent my time with my mother at my parents house.

How to spend long days with too many thoughts in mind?
I baked.

First up was Donuts!

Donuts ♥

Mine was not too even (more like Danish pastry) but once put in sugar they really did taste like donuts. Took me like 15 minutes from start to end to make them! Thank god no one could see what my mothers kitchen looked after that .

Next: Ciabatta bread
I love this bread even if it's not too healthy. I eaten it for bread but it was not until 3 years ago when I went to Italy that I believe that I really started to love this bread.

Me and some friends went to see the Colosseum in Rome. So warm but we still decided to buy overpriced water and something to eat - Ciabatta with oil, fresh tomatoes and Mozzarella.

Freshly baked Ciabatta ♥

I never had anything so fantastic in my life. I highly recomend it! make your own bread or buy it, but some oil in first (instead of butter) than the tomatos and Mozzarella ♥ you can also put it into the oven and warm it all up : It's super!

Enough talk about bread and how to eat it!



I know you all are waiting for an update of my days in London and instead I'll upload my new pair of shoes.

I needed a pair if white heeled ones for Tokyo anyway ♥

The shoes ♥

Cost me 125 SEK (about 17USD) at Weekday. I love heels and these kind of heels are very comfortable if you are walking a long distance. (10 hours shopping in Tokyo baby) I hope to find many new pair of shoes in Tokyo ♥

Home ♥

So I'm finally home from London ♥
I really enjoyed my trip!
AND finally I got to sleep out and have a shower.

A big update will come tomorrow when I got the pictures out of my camera and such ♥
I hope you all had it good even if the weather is so warm!!

Here is some Puri I took with my friend Marie-Claire ♥

Skype ♥

Today I finally decided to get a SKYPE ♥
Anyone that feels like adding me on my SKYPE feel free to do so!
Just look for: Emmelie Mattsson / Sweden or my username emmelie.mattsson. (imaginary I know )

I love chatting and use some chat services: MSN and AIM.
Do you use any of these?

Also this been the most relaxing day in a long time. I booked two washing machines for tomorrow so I can get some clothes clean for London, changed my last money into GBP, had dinner with my parents and got the last details done for the trip. Great ♥

Had a lot on my mind recently but it feels like things are finally working out ♥
LONDON SOON ♥


I been thinking about this a lot.
Most gals seems to be into pop. To tell the truth I never been into that.
There is very few occasions when I really like pop or listen to it at all.
I can understand the beat and the lyrics but...it never really got me in it's grip.

Don't take me wrong, I'm open to all kinds of music.
Maybe I find pop one day that I really like ♥

Rock always been my thing and I guess it will continue like that for now ♥
So I'll wrap this entry up with some Japanese 80's madness: Vow wow - Don't leave me now Oh ghod the hair the hair the hair and voice ♥♥♥ (excuse my fangirlism)



Yes! Their vocalist is Japanese and his English is kick-ass! Sadly he quit the band later and became a high school English teacher. I want that guy to be my teacher.

Emmlie

PS! Just a few more days and I'm off to London ♥♥♥
and than Tokyo and Singapore ♥♥♥

SORRY ALL T__T♥

I'm sorry for no reply what so ever. A lot of things been going on.

First of all I MOVED! I moved out of my parents house and I'm finally in an apartment with people I feel good with ♥
Here is some photo. Please excuse the royal mess.
I'm sure I'm going to re-do it soon again *laugh*

The Apartment building ♥

The kitchen
Small but nice

First room
Untidy

Same room
oh yes still so untidy

Room 2 ~
Less untidy

Same room

There! A small tour. You are not allowed into my bathroom or hall yet *laugh* it's not even looking decent right now ♥

SECOND! LONDON,TOKYO AND SINGAPORE!

Yes! As I wrote earlier I am going to London and I still am!
I got my hostels booked and some people to meet most of the time anyway!

I'm looking forward to all this. I'm still a little nervous since I have an E-ticket and not a paper ticket in my hand like for Tokyo and Singapore.

25th June - 3rd July

More details about London in the next post ♥ but now: TOKYO and SINGAPORE!
A friend of mine invited me to come to Tokyo t live with him and he also offered to pay my food, a place to stay and to pay for my flight. So yes of course I am going.

28th July - 18th August

The first week my friend is sadly working but I'm going to 109 for shopping *__*! How exciting is not that? I saved up over 12 000 SEK / 1490 USD. Expect shopping reports!

Of course I'm doing more than shopping! Like going to Sea world, the Ghibli museum and concert(s) ♥ I need to figure out where to shop, where to go and where it's nice to eat (cheap/good food/ etc )

ALSO!

The first weekend of my visit me and my friend are going to Singapore over the weekend. I never been there so it will be much exciting and if not interesting! ♥♥♥

Third and last!

I hope you all are doing well and sorry once again for not writing ;__; ~ ♥

Chocolate and Kinky boots ♥

Today I went to the gym for the first time in AGES!
I was really surprised that I could run a treadmill for 20 minutes with no stop and work all the machines for 1 hour! I know I don't have the best condition ever but at least I'm not that bad ♥

So I'm finally doing something about this. For the rest of those weeks I live I stopped my fathers fat food terror and will finally eat the food I want (and like ♥) I am so tired of traditional Swedish food that I could kill (almost) Potatoes, sausages, mincemeat and cream in any size and way.

So this is next weeks menu:

♥ Monday: Chicken breast with Quinoa
♥ Tuesday: Potato soup
♥ Wednesday: Mushroom Omelette
♥ Thursday: Chicken Satay with peanut sauce
♥ Friday: Spaghetti with beans and paprika
♥ Saturday: Minestrone soup
♥ Sunday: GI- mincemeat sauce and pasta

This sounds really good to me ♥ I always eat a good breakfast and in between the larger meals I eat something small such as fruit! A banana is awesome after working out ♥

Todays breakfast: Chrisp bread with a little butter on, a glass of orange juice, tea and an apple.

What do you like to eat for breakfast? I think I would love some yoghurt with Mango! I love mango ♥♥♥

Also I love making sweets and bake things so this is my latest project:

♥ Chocolate with pistachio nuts ♥

♥ Time to make: 15 minutes

♥ What you need to make this wonderful thing:

100 grams of dark chocolate
1/4 cup hacked pistachio nuts
1/4 cup hacked almonds
1/4 cup Bran flakes

♥ How to make this:

1. Hack the almonds and pistachio nuts, make sure they are roughly hacked.
Save about 1 tablespoon from each to use as decoration on top of.

2. Melt the chocolate together with the hacked nuts in a water-bath for some minutest in microwave and crush the bran flakes in the end of the process. Pour the melted chocolate on baking paper and sprinkle the nuts and some bran flakes on top. Let it rest like that until its hard!

ENJOY!

Kinky boots

Another one of those wonderful movies I love. This one is Brittish and most wonderful!

Some short facts:
From: 2005
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, drama, music.
My rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

About:
Charles Price may have grown up with his father in the family shoe business, but he never thought that he would take his father's place. Yet, the untimely death of his father places him in that position, only to learn that Price & Sons Shoes is failing.

While in despair at his failed attempts to save the business, Charles has a chance encounter with the flamboyant drag queen cabaret singer, Lola. Her complaints about the inadequate footwear for her work combined with one of Charles' ex-employees, Lauren, leads to a suggestion to change the product to create a desperate chance to save the business: make men's fetish footwear.

Lola is convinced to be their footwear designer and the transition begins. Now this disparate lot must struggle at this unorthodox idea while dealing both the prejudice of the staff, Lola's discomfort in the small town and the selfish manipulation of Charles' greedy fiancée who cannot see the greater good in Charles' dream.

My opinion: Once again a movie about being different, being someone who society find different. It's a cheeky but fun movie with it's own message. Fight for what you believe in, different or not. The movie is over all cute and I don't think there is part that falls flat really. The opening scene with the little boy dancing in red stilettos are so cute and so are what is following even if some parts of it really is killing me on the inside. Stop hiding, be brave. Believe in who you are and what you do.

Yes I would say it's one of those movies that makes you feel really good or at least happy after watching it.

If you love drama, humour, glitter and glamour. Than this is the movie for you! It sure is a movie for me ♥



Take care all of you ♥♥♥

So much to do

Sorry for not giving some long update or much of pictures.
I had done so many things it's insane. I'm planing for my London trip♥ already and it's a lot to do (believe it or not) on top of this packing for when I'm moving out (6th June!!)

So today I did:

♥ Packing
♥ Making a card to my penpal Anna
♥ Planing for London
♥ Eating food
♥ Buying books

Packing

As some of you know I'm moving out of my parents place at the 6th June (The Swedish national day!) to an apartment. This of course means: OH GHOD PACKING.

My room is a total mess, so bad that I will not show you it. I promise to show once things are packed. Hope you all don't mind! I really did not know that I had so much stuff to tell the truth.

I bought black plastic bags today to throw away stuff in. Oh ho. There is also things in my room that I will give away, so a give away laters!

Making a card to my penpal

ANNA IF YOU READ THIS, WELL YOUR LOSS!

There, just had to have is said. But yes. I spent some time making a card to her from a magazine, glitter, glue and wallpaper. Want to see? Here is the result of my time♥ Click to see larger!:

Front
Sorry for the bad pics. I need a better camera.
Look at the butterflies and clocks ♥



Back♥
Can you see the little butterfly?




Inside!
This is where my letter is going to be ♥

What do you all think? I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture but the wallpaper it's in gold! It's very nice to touch too! A nice structure under your fingertips so to say!

Also, the white board by the back of the card has glitter that looks like glittery frosting ♥ I'm very proud and satisfied!

Planing for London

Me and my friend been planing some over AIM how and where to go. We are going to the London ZOO!! I love to go to the Zoo!! I can't describe the bubbly feeling inside of me when it comes to Zoo's and aquariums. Ain't animals so beautiful? ♥♥♥

We are going to spend some nice time there, going to do tourist stuff!
Also I'm going to use a non-digital camera at some things but these photos are going in a scrapbook♥ But there be photos of course in the blog! I still have my own (bad) mobile camera. I hope you all are looking forward to my London report!

But oh! I'm going to roam the Oxford street and Camden alone. I hope that be fun!
Anywhere you think I should go? Gal related or not!♥

Eating food

Don't we all do this every day? Anyway todays food was Sushi♥
Well Carlifona rolls to be exact! My favourite one♥
What are you favourite?

Me and my friend had dinner♥



Also for Lunch I had a grilled Sponge Bob!

Oh I love food♥ Perhaps a little too much (if that is possible!)

Buying books

A friend wrote to me on MSN and asked if I wanted books. Of course I want books, who can say no to that? So I got two gift codes to enter so I could get two free books!

Not the biggest selection of books but I ended up picking the same book twice. One for me and one for my mother. The book is about GI food. I never been a fan of diets to tell the truth and I want to stay healthy♥ and well the positive side effect on GI is that I will stay healthy and even lose weight.

Anyone tried the GI method before? Did it work out well for you?
GI + working out. Sounds real good to me♥


Please take care

One minute disco♥

Hiya! Today been such a long day. First I spent my day studying, packing since I'm moving out but also spent time with my mother and my parents dog. Their dog is such a sweety ♥

My parents dog 'Chippen' is so cute

Right! So on my way home from spending some time studying I walked into this:
ONE MINUTE DISCO!!!

Wait..what? I could hear loud music and see a lot of teenagers stand next to this black barn-like looking tent. Of course I got curious and walked in.

Inside it stood two persons, giving out free energy drinks! Just what I needed. Inside there also where dark, a discoball shimmering and turning and of course the blasting music.

The one minute disco tent

The free drink! No I did not get paid to write this.

With my free (large!) energy drink with tropical juice flavour I walked off. Awesome.
Sometimes these showcase things are great♥

IT'S FREAKING OFFICIAL!

I'M GOING TO LONDON THIS SUMMER!!!!



So I be in London between: 25 June - 3 July!
